The following instructions will show you how to view the hierarchy of pages within a space, and move pages to different positions within the hierarchy.
It is suggested that you use the new space that you created during the Tutorial (see 'Creating a space').
PART A: First, you will create some new pages :
- Go to the home page of your new space.
For assistance, please see Using the Dashboard earlier in the tutorial.
- Under the 'Add' menu, select 'Page'.
- A new, blank page appears.
- Click in the box near the top of the screen, where the words 'New Page' appear. The words 'New Page' will disappear. Type the following title: 'Book One'.
- Save your new page and go back to the space's home page.
- Repeat steps 2-5, but give your new page the title 'Chapter One'.
- Repeat steps 2-5, but give your new page the title 'Chapter Two'.
You have now created three new pages. All three pages are children of the space's home page.
By default, a new page is the child of the page you were viewing when you started creating the new page.
PART B: Now you will view the pages within your space, and move some of your new pages into more logical positions:
- From the 'Browse' menu, select 'Pages'.
- A list of pages appears.
There are three ways to view the list of pages in a space. You can choose to view:
- recently-added pages only
- all pages, in alphabetic order
- all pages, in hierarchical order (also known as a 'page tree')
If the list of pages contains just the word 'Home' with a plus-sign next to it, then you are looking at the hierarchical order. If not, click 'Tree' (next to the word 'View', above the list of pages). - Click the plus-sign next to the word 'Home'.
The word 'Home' represents the space's home page.
- A list of pages (i.e. children of the space's home page) is displayed. Your three new pages are included in the list, i.e.
- 'Book One'
- 'Chapter One'
- 'Chapter Two'
- With your mouse, drag 'Chapter One' onto 'Book One'.
- Click the plus-sign next to the word 'Home'.
- A plus-sign now appears next to the words 'Book One'. Click this plus-sign.
- 'Chapter One' now appears indented below 'Book One'. Your tree should now look like this:
- 'Book One'
- 'Chapter One'
- 'Chapter Two'
- 'Book One'
- With your mouse, drag 'Chapter Two' onto 'Book One'.
- Click the plus-sign next to the word 'Home'.
- Click the plus-sign next to the words 'Chapter One'. 'Your tree should now look like this:
- 'Book One'
- 'Chapter One'
- 'Chapter Two'
- 'Book One'
